Tori Klug's Individual Contribution Page

Summer 2012 Contributions

I am again leading the design team in various tasks including expanding the range of flow rates for which the Automated Design Tool can create designs, creating modular designs for various plant components, supplying a materials list along with the design specifications document, and creating an LFOM template and labels for the LFOM and CDC lever arm and calibration column.

Spring 2012 Contributions

I led the design team in various tasks to both incorporate recent innovation in research into our design and to generally improve the robustness of our code.

Fall 2011 Contributions

I worked, again on the design team, to improve and consolidate the MtoA translators used to create functions and shapes and effectively "translate" Mathcad code into AutoCAD inputs. 

Spring 2011 Contributions

I worked on the design team with Annie Newcomb to create a database of chemical storage tanks and the Mathcad code to assign the proper size coagulant tanks to a plant, along with the pipes and pieces that will connect the tanks to the constant head tank once we are able to draw flexible tubing. The database contains tanks from the supplier Rotoplast, which is based in Colombia and whose products are available in Honduras and other countries in Latin America. Our final report is available here and provides details about how the tank sizes are chosen and how the tanks along with the connecting pipes and pieces are drawn. Our page is called "Coagulant Stock Tank Design Program" since our AutoCAD scripts draw only the coagulant stock tanks; however, our tank database can also be used for the chlorine stock tanks.
